VP Mike Pence Casts Deciding Vote To Confirm Betsy DeVos

After a more-than-24-hour marathon of objections from Democrats, Betsy DeVos has been confirmed as education secretary. Vice President (and president of the Senate) Mike Pence cast the deciding vote after a 50-50 vote to confirm the educational choice activist from Michigan after two Republicans (Collins and Murkowski) voted against DeVos.
